April Home Health Checklist

The easiest way to reduce insurance claims and unforeseen maintenance costs is to perform monthly health checks on your home.

These checklists help readers understand how their home functions, what to look for to reduce breakdowns, and the insurance claims that often follow. They are visual inspections designed to bring awareness of conditions that may need to be corrected before a breakdown occurs. The actions are generic recommendations and are not designed or intended to replace or supersede manufacturer recommendations; they are general instructions to bring awareness to your home’s health.

Each month, we will publish the checklists recommended to be performed during that month. Click the links below to access the checklists related to your home.
